They lie severly about HP, but they can't lie about amp draw. One REAL horse is about the limit on 110 volts. If you want one to last 30 years, buy a 5 hp compound- one piston exhausts into the next one. It would have a bore x stroke of two sizes- 4x3 and 3x3. The biggger piston pumps into the littler one.
